Blue Cliff Record #10
“Muzhou’s Empty Headed Fool”

Muzhou asked a monk, “Where did you come from?”

The monk then shouted.

Zhou said, “This old monk, because of you, has one shout.”

The monk again shouted.

Zhou said, “After three shouts and four shouts, how do you make it come alive?”

The monk was speechless.

Zhou then hit him and said, “This is the top fellow of robbing and deceiving.”
